Trump Will Replace ‘Great American State Fair’ Concert With Rally After Artists Drop Out

Trump acknowledged artists were getting “the yips” after most performers slated to play at the “Great American State Fair” dropped out this week.

Trump is crowing about his success in defeating insufficiently loyal MAGA in the polls. Were cool with that. They voted with him 99% anyway. What it does is make it crystal clear to Independents what they are voting for in Nov. And we’re pretty sure it won’t be these Trump yahoos. #RFA #politics

The fact that large numbers of MAGA believe things that are objectively false is no surprise. What is more is that a number of Independents hold similar beliefs. Deprogramming MAGA will be tough and may be impossible. The key to managing them will be to educate and recruit Independents. #RFA

Republican voters believe things that aren’t true. That’s a problem for the GOP.

The party can’t make good arguments or put forward solutions unless it’s grounded in reality.

Details are still coming out - broad strokes appear to be:

Extend ceasefire for about 2 month.

Defer talks about the nuclear program.

Release some of Iranian $.

Allow ships through the Straits…with de facto Iranian control.

A lot like the Obama deal…but slightly better for Iran.

Winning…

Welcome to a “Why I blew off my son’s wedding” edition of the MAGA Minute! This week, Trump claimed he was too busy with critical national issues to see his son get married this weekend. Today we get a view of that vital work. Editor’s Note: Ummm…”Hulkster,” but we guess huckster fits. #RFA
64-68% of Americans disapprove of “The Affordability President’s” management of the economy - his worst ratings on this in either term. Americans don’t need to be told they are hurting. And they don’t need new ballrooms and Trump Arches or fountains in DC. We get that. He doesn’t. #RFA

President Donald Trump's has had his hands in several primary elections, and recently his candidates prevailed. What is Trump's approval rating?

We agree. Trump has pulled Reps into increasingly extreme and incoherent positions. And cost him nearly all Independents. Putting up the MAGA hooded will wack the 20 or so Reps in Blue and Blue leaning districts and in statewide races across the nation. Unless they cheat…massively. #RFA

Donald Trump And Republicans Are Falling Into A Trap

The president's victories in GOP primaries and in crucial court cases come as his poll numbers continue to slip into dangerous territory ahead of the midterms.

Welcome to a “Water Polo Rules!” edition of the MAGA Minute! Today Trump takes on the economy, addressing his plan to tackle inflation 25% higher than when he was elected and the worst job numbers since the 1960. Sorry. Scratch that. He is talking about putting in a $14 million pool liner. #RFA
